Kyle Chrisley has pleaded guilty to resisting arrest following a December 2025 incident in which he was accused of assaulting a police officer.
Kyle, 35, the older brother of Savannah Chrisley, 29, entered the plea during a September court hearing, according to records reviewed by Us Weekly.
During the same hearing, prosecutors dismissed the other charges in his indictment: disorderly conduct, public intoxication, three counts of retaliation for past action and three counts of assault on law enforcement.
Our News Outlet has contacted Kyle Chrisley’s representatives for comment.
The former Chrisley Knows Best star was arrested on December 20, 2025, and booked into the Rutherford County Adult Detention Center in Murfreesboro, Tennessee.
Authorities alleged at the time that Kyle’s wife, Ashleigh Nelson, was behaving in a “belligerent” manner. They also said Kyle was walking in the middle of a road while Nelson followed him in her vehicle.

According to the report, Kyle “became immediately aggressive” when law enforcement officers arrived and attempted to speak with him.
Officials alleged that Kyle “charged at deputies and began to throw punches and assault deputies,” injuring three officers, according to the report.
The indictment accused Kyle of “unlawfully and knowingly” assaulting a law enforcement official by “striking said officer with his hand or fist,” the outlet reported, citing the filing from June.
The indictment also alleged that Kyle threatened “to kill” the officer after his arrest and used “force” to resist being taken into custody.

Officials further claimed that Kyle appeared to be “under the influence of a controlled substance, controlled substance analogue or any other intoxicating substance.”
The indictment stated that he was “in a public place with intent to cause the public annoyance.”
Kyle also has a previous legal history. He was arrested in March 2023 after an altercation with a co-worker at a Penske Rental Truck facility in Smyrna, Tennessee.
The development in Kyle’s case comes as his younger sister, Savannah Chrisley, 29, prepares to welcome her first child with fiancé Jason Galanis, 56. Galanis pleaded guilty in 2020 to organizing two financial fraud schemes, including one that allegedly defrauded a Native American tribe and investors of millions of dollars.

In March 2025, President Donald Trump commuted Galanis’s sentence, months before granting pardons to Todd and Julie Chrisley for their 2022 bank fraud and tax evasion convictions.
Prosecutors had accused Todd and Julie of obtaining millions of dollars in bank loans through fraudulent means. The couple was also accused of concealing income to avoid paying taxes.
Todd Chrisley and Galanis served time at the same Florida prison facility during an eight-month period in 2023.
In May of last year, Trump said the Chrisleys had received “pretty harsh treatment” based on what he had heard.
Savannah, who endorsed Trump during a 2024 speech at the Republican National Convention, said officials in the Trump administration had “seen the corruption” involved in her parents’ case.
“I didn’t have to do anything other than stand firm in my beliefs and my convictions and fight for my parents,” she said at the time.
